I think they will draft Ricky Sapp in the 2nd - New England Patriots Forums

Sapp
Williams
Hardesty
Teo Neshiem

Arthur Jones
Larsen

those are guys I think they will draft, some via trade downs.

Do you think Sapp could eventually be a good OLB?

Read as 6th round. He has the plague, too apparently.

Assuming there's no major issue- I'd like to see them get him with a 4th or 5th. How can you go wrong?

In my mind they couldn't. I had the Pats taking him at 44 in my mock. If he's still there at 100something then even better. Great prospect at great value.

Do you guys not hear what the entire NFL is saying about Sapp ( a supossed sure fire 2nd rounder who some on this board wanted at #22) ???

Too late; the Eagles took him with one of their 120-something 4th-rounders.

But hey, who needs a pass rush? Bill's drafted 2 TEs, and did his buddy Urban a solid by over-drafting a punk tweener (Cunningham) when Sapp & Everson Griffen were still available.

If Bill isn't right about Cunningham, then he needs to fire someone - beginning with himself.

If we draft a P in the 5th rd is that a white flag? LOL, this is where I assure someone that BB knows what he was doing(yesterday anyways!)and in Bill we trust. I have been a pretty good critic and he shut me up by drafting everyone I chose in the 2nd round yesterday. So he likes me, everything is right in the world, things arent that bad, birds in the trees etc....Or whatever homers usually say, it just doesnt taste right to me but such is life. Patchick spelled Kumbaya to me or I wouldnt have known! Sapp came in to work out and obviously Cunningham was better and they couldnt fit a 4rd LB in this year. Fair and balanced reporting as usual, but what a great day!! Just put a #49 jersey on Mr.C. point to the QB and tell him to "sit on it"!

YouTube - Universal Draft presents - OLB Ricky Sapp - Clemson.avi

Here's video on Sapp. There is no way this kid is strong enough to set the edge on a 3-4 team. He has some speed though. I doubt he'd be an everydown player.

Sapp will do well on the eagles. They have a defense built on speed so he'll fit in nicely.

No. Do tell.

He must have had some horrible off-field problems to drop that far. Feeding poodles to alligators? Wearing tartan plaid pants and a striped shirt? Running a pet taxidermy business? Insulting Obama on an Ivy League campus? Running his nails over a blackboard? Starting a chain of ammo/liquor drive-through stores in FL?
